Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for mapping content from a first or starting template to a second or target template. An analysis is performed of any content objects and content placeholders contained in the starting and target templates. One or more potential content mappings are generated for potentially mapping content objects from the starting template to the target template. An optimal mapping is selected from the potential mappings, and content objects from the starting template are mapped to the target template according to the selected optimal mapping.
